|
In order to present the best presentation and eliminate room for error, you need to keep in mind certain guidelines. Here are some of my ideas for presenting quality presentation that demand genuine attention from your listeners.
|
Picking out a topic is the hard part, when it comes to choosing from a list of presentation subjects. It has to be interesting, impactful and unique; therefore it is crucial to choose something you care about rather than randomly selecting one. Ask yourself if it covers angles－is it informative? Will it keep my listeners hooked? Will it create an air of boredom? Will I be able to get all my facts and research done? Is it appealing to me, but not to them?
|
There's nothing more annoying than having someone blabber on about a topic he/she hasn't done extensive research on. It is obvious from the way they speak, how monotonous their tones sound and how robotic their movement and gestures are. So don't be that someone. Take the effort to learn as much as you can. Make it matter to you, and remember how it can impact your listeners, and enlighten them on things they didn't know about at all.
|
No one is perfect, and there are bound to be mistakes or circumstances that you didn’t count on and couldn’t avoid. You could stutter with a word, mix up slides, or forget some important sheets of your presentation and so on. Straighten up. Crack a minor joke in your defense. In other words improvise and don't beat yourself up about it or else your presentation will end in disaster. Don't let it ruin the rest of it, and finish the presentation as planned, so that people think more of how well it ended.
|
The best thing about presenting a topic is eye contact. If you are able to say it by heart, and not by looking at a piece of paper, you will have mastered the most effective presentation technique. Memorize your lines, and points, and only glance at your notes occasionally if you think you may forget something. In the end, if you think that you are well prepared to answer questions, then by all means invite them.

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper.7 2.____One of the first kinds
of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China , cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time . Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. 73____
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money.74____Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver

In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. 71 By now, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter. 72
As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. 73
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.
This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. 74
This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment.
75
| A．So she won the contest. |
| B．As a result, she lost the contest. |
| C．The judges wanted to give her another chance. |
| D．It’s been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.” |
E. It’s so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow.
F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.
G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.
Let children learn to judge their work. 71 If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. 72 They learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those
of more skilled people, and slowly mak
e the needed changes.
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. 73 we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of 
right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. 74 Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? 75 Let the children learn what all educated people must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.
| A．Children learn to do all the other things in the same way. |
| B．Let him correct his own papers. |
| C．Point out his mistakes. |
| D．We do it all for him. |
E. We allow him to learn from other children.
F. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.
G. Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.

Human’s Wants
71 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, versions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
The first and basic level of wants involves food. 72 By the end of World War -Ⅱ these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans, Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. 73 Rather than other levels , this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness, it includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care , entertainment, and fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. 74 Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
75 Consumers may be spending more and more on taxes to pay government action against diseases, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. At this stage, we may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
| A．The more mental satisfaction, the better. |
| B．On this level, a great percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. |
| C．Human’s wants seem endless. |
| D．By the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans had the good things on the first three levels. |
E. A fifth level probably involve wants that can be achieved best by community action
F. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears, clothing and some sort of shelter.
G. Then, in the late 1950’s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life - enriching” level.
